Talk:Cannonball (G1)

Shouldn't this article's name be changed to "Cannonball (G1)" or "Cannonball (Wings of Honor)", since Timelines is not technically a continuity? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dinoshot (talk • contribs).

We don't disambiguate by continuity. We disambiguate by franchise. Timelines is a franchise. --ItsWalky 13:54, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

Aw. Thanks for clearing that up.Dinoshot 14:44, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

So why is this G1 now? Hell, half the Timelines articles seem to be disambigged by continuity rather than by franchise. What's the deal there? --Riptide (talk) 07:26, 2 September 2015 (EDT)

At some point it was decided that Timelines is generally in the business of inserting characters into pre-existing franchises, so now (Timelines) is mostly avoided in favour of whatever franchise the character is placed in. There's the odd exception like TFSS Ironfist that doesn't fit cleanly into a single franchise, so gets left at (Timelines). Jalaguy (talk) 08:07, 2 September 2015 (EDT)
